You must be over the age of 18 years old to buy prescription medication online. Our process for buying medication will involve an age verification process.
Providing a false age or buying medication on a minor’s behalf is illegal.
As an online healthcare provider, we always confirm that you are at least 18 years of age before your first purchase. Checks are carried out against information you provide including but not limited to your name, address and date of birth on national identity registers at the time of registration and may be carried out on future occasions should there be any discrepancies in your details as time go on. To make the process as easy as possible, all checks are carried out behind the scenes as part of the registration and ordering process, requiring no action on your part.
Should we be unable to verify your age based on the details you have provided, a member of our Customer Service Representatives will contact you to discuss other options to verify your age.
It may be necessary to contact you if there are any problems with your order. Problems can sometimes occur with taking payment or because the prescriber has some further questions about your health, having already reviewed your consultation. If we contact you by phone, it minimises any delay to your order, and is one of the quickest ways to overcome any issue.
